A Premier League footballer has been banned from driving and fined more than £3,500 after being caught drink driving in his Range Rover.
Burnley midfielder Dale Stephens was almost double the legal drink-drive limit when police stopped him in Alderley Edge on March 14. The 32-year-old told officers that he’d “had a pint”, a court has heard.
Bolton -born Stephens was hit with a fine and banned from driving for 12 months after admitting driving a vehicle with alcohol above the legal limit during a hearing at Stockport Magistrates Court on Monday. The court heard that a breath test found Stephens with 59 micrograms of alcohol in his breath, with the legal drink-drive limit being 35mcg.
